Chalk and Cinder: Ashes Between Us (The Heat & the Heart Trilogy #3)
Indigo Slate

When the last ember fades, will love remain—or will it burn away?
Tessa’s art was supposed to mark a new chapter—until fire stole the gallery walls meant to hold it. Now, the woman who paints beauty in the wake of chaos is faced with the very danger she’s tried to capture.
Griff has lived his life inside the flames, running toward what others run from. But when a string of suspicious fires starts hitting close to home, the fight turns personal—and the risks become impossible to ignore.
As the investigation heats up, so does their relationship. Arguments burn just as hot as the attraction pulling them back together. And when a new arsonist escalates beyond anything they’ve faced, Griff finds himself in the kind of danger Tessa has always feared.
With trust on the line and the city in peril, Tessa and Griff will have to decide if love can survive the smoke, the secrets, and the scars—or if some fires burn too deep to ever be extinguished.
Ashes Between Us is a heart-pounding, emotionally charged conclusion to The Heat & the Heart Trilogy, perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, firefighter drama, and love forged in the heat of the moment.
